What Are the Key Factors Influencing Internal Diffusion?
Several factors influence internal diffusion limitations, including:
Pore Size: Smaller pores can restrict the movement of larger molecules. Pore Structure: A highly tortuous network can impede diffusion. Temperature: Higher temperatures generally increase diffusion rates but may also affect reaction rates differently. Pressure: Higher pressure can enhance diffusion but may also compact the pore structure. Molecular Size: Larger molecules diffuse more slowly through the pores.
